The new iBook G4 delivers gorgeous 3D images and stunning photorealistic effects — just what you need to enjoy the latest generation of Mac games.

That’s because we’ve equipped the new iBook G4 with the powerful graphics rendering capabilities of a professional-grade laptop system. With its ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 graphics processor with 32MB of DDR SDRAM and AGP 4X, the iBook G4 delivers incredible 2D, 3D and multimedia graphics performance for today’s most demanding games and applications.

ATI Mobility Radeon 9200
ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 The Mobility Radeon 9200 performs astonishingly fast 32-bit true color rendering. It supports multi-texturing and 3D effects, and it helps you get the most fun out of your fast-action games and multimedia titles. What’s more, it features SMARTSHADER technology for amazing enhancement in detail and performance. (Just wait till you see how realistically it renders such elements as metals, liquids and wood.) So not only does it deliver a tremendous speed boost, it gives you spectacular 3D images and even more photorealistic effects.

With 32 megabytes of onboard dedicated DDR RAM at its disposal, the ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 with AGP 4X has plenty of memory to give your multimedia applications a boost for rendering 3D graphics on the fly. Large visual elements can refresh themselves swiftly after image manipulations like filters, blurs and color corrections. And because main memory doesn’t get tied up with graphics processing, you get smoother system performance all around.

Cast a giant shadow
Shadowbane screen You’ll see how these attributes combine to deliver a visual feast when you install a new 3D software package like Shadowbane on your iBook G4. A multiplayer online game that combines the fantasy role-playing and strategy genres, Shadowbane lets you physically affect the history, politics and landscape of your kingdom. You can use your iBook’s graphics processing power to build photorealistic castles, raise armies, lay siege to vast areas of virtual terrain — and rule your domain.

Brilliant resolution
iPhoto and resolution The iBook’s brilliant 12.1-inch or 14.1-inch TFT XGA active-matrix display makes it the perfect place to play games, edit videos, watch QuickTime movies and manage your digital photo collection. And razor-sharp 1024-by-768 pixel resolution lets you show what you can easily do with iMovie, iPhoto and other great applications that excel on the Mac.

And just wait until you try your hand at digital photo editing. Connect a digital camera to one of iBook’s USB 2.0 ports, and iPhoto will take care of the rest for you, importing your images and helping you organize them. You’ll be editing images like a pro, removing blemishes and red eye, cropping images precisely, creating 4x6 prints on your inkjet printer or ordering them online with just one click.

The Mac OS X advantage
Mac OS X - Panther Mac OS X v.10.3 Panther features three cutting-edge technologies — Quartz, OpenGL and QuickTime — that combine to push the graphics envelope beyond its known limits. The Apple-engineered Quartz 2D graphics engine with built-in PDF support features on-the-fly rendering, anti-aliasing and compositing of PDF for pristine, high-fidelity graphics. OpenGL provides industry-standard 3D graphics capabilities for professional 3D-based applications and the most demanding games. And for next-generation audio and video streaming features, Mac OS X includes QuickTime 6, the premier technology for digital media.
